The first issue of Issues in Aviation Law and Policy (IALP) published under the auspices of the International Aviation Law Institute at DePaul University College of Law is now available. Formerly published by CCH/Wolters Kluwer since April 2001 in looseleaf format, IALP is now available as a more portable and readable perfect-bound journal. What has not changed is the core concept that animated the launch of IALP eight years ago--to present articles and commentaries by leading policymakers, officials, analysts, academics, and industry leaders who have the experience and expertise to brief readers on the challenges confronting global civil aviation today and in the future.
